Growing and care
Honeysuckle is not a very whimsical culture, and the Bakcharskaya Jubilee variety is no exception. The only requirement is sufficient illumination of the place where the bush grows, if there is little light, a large collection will not work, and the berries will grow small. And you can't plant a crop in low-lying places, where cool air accumulates, and there is stagnation of water. Any soil is suitable, but it will still be better if the land on the site is fertile and loose.
The culture is planted both at the end of summer and at the beginning of autumn, so that the bush has time to acclimatize and get stronger before the cold weather. In spring, only container plants can be planted.
